Confidence In America
One receives letters sometimes pointing out defects in our
society, the miscarriages of justice, and the oppression that
some Americans undoubtedly suffer. And the question is always asked, Do you call that democracy?
We do not call that democracy. We do not regard injustice
lightly. We work to overcome it. We do not pretend that a
jrarfect state of affairs reign in our country.*
W But, neither do we become cynical about America. .For cynicism wins no victories for freedom. Confidence does. The
morbid, almost psychopathic habit, that some people have, of
always berating* our society—of never recognizing any good
in it—cannot breed- confidence in free institutions either
among our people or among people of other lands who look
to us for help in time of need.
Yet, we have plenty to tell the peoples of the world about
what democracy is, the principles upon which it rests and in
accordance with which it grows. We should say very candidly
that, while deploring our defects, we are making a serious
effort to form our life in America so that every individual
may enjoy his rights and have equal opportunity to develop
his talents. That is good news today to people in many parts
of the world whose lives, in their own countries, are considered worthless and foi" whom, under their form of government, there is no hope whatever. ■
We should tell the peoples in. foreign lands of the progress
that has been made—yes, that is being made—in America
toward the realization of freedom for more and more people.
We should tell them how we began with a very small degree of religious freedom—of how we have achieved a very
real and satisfactory degree of religious freedom—of how
we began with educational opportunities limited to few child-
*jjn-i-of how we now have a great, nation-wide system of
J^e public schools—of how we began with very few Americans enjoying the right to vote—of how the recognition of
,.i.he right to vote,has been, extended until it applies to both
"itten..and. women of every race, creed, national origin, and
class-;—of how the effort to prevent Negroes and poor Whites
from voting in some parts of the country is being combatted
daily—and. how today there are fewer poll-tax states than
there were ten years ago—of how the fight against Communism, Fascism, discrimination and prejudice in America is
proceeding—of the victories we are winning in this fight—
of the ultimate victory we most surely shall win.
There is scarcely anything the peoples of foreign lands—
Who suffer under oppression—would rather hear than that.
There is scarcely anything else that can give more hope—
and make them turn their eyes to America as their friend
and champion.
And, as for ourselves—the realization of what we have
done, by God's grace, is itself the source, of confidence that
we can, and will, do more.
Meaning Of Flag Day
Flag Day, which is widely observed on June 14, is the anniversary of the date in the. year 17.77,.when Congress resolved that the flag of the United States should consist of
13 alternating red and white stripes, and that there should
be 13 white stars in a blue field.
^JThe number 13 represented the number of the original
{(ponies that declared their independence. The design of this
flag remained unchanged ever since that .time, except that
a new star was added every time a new state was admitted
to the Union: . • -
The adoption of that flag was a memorable event, and it
helped to unite the 13 colonies in their struggle against the
parent country. It was a suggestion that they needed unified action to, win their independence, and the wonderful
heroism and splendid spirit of the Revolutionary forces was
their response to the sight of the flag. So the flag to-day
waving over our heads is.a constant incitement to patriotic
action, and it tells us to love our country.
Organizations And Progress
.THe organizations of a community are great forces working for progress. Their educational-aaid religious activities
are wonderful forces for good*-The organizations present interesting events and features and agreeable social life, they
provide attractive recreations, fine opportunities for youth,
and their programs make life interesting in the community,
so that people enjoy the town and are happy in their locations. XX
Business. arid community development and improvement
gganizations perform services of very high value in Ameri-
wb cities and towns. They have been great factors in the advance of countless communities.
Forest Fire Danger
The spring months of the year are a period when the
danger of forest fires usually increases. During those months
the forest ground is usually covered with a carpet -of dry
leaves. Those leaves, unless recently wet down by rain, are
likely to be Very inflammable. 'i
At a later date, the growth of green grass may create
an obstacle to the spread of fire, but in the, spring the grass
in thja forest, land is not,4ikely to have, grown sufficiently So
that-lit creates any great obstacle to fire. People, who jwjss
through woodlaridsl>lidurd'"be;^very cairefhi; about nre," and
think about-the great loss .that-may be caused! if .one"should

on tho hiVh school football
grounds; included in thc sale will
be furniture, antiques, machinery,

and .scrap iron, all donated by the

The fish fry wil! be held at pupper time so that those attending
need not return home for supper
but remain to take in the fun at
the old-time festival in the evening.
The school band and Swiss yod-
eiers will present a musical program in the evening. Proceeds of
the affair will be used to drill a

May Weather Brings Rain and Floods
Hail and Drouth All Over the Country \
Nature attains her most capricious self during- the merry;
month of May, and this year she even went herself one bet*
ter by giving a complete range of weather throughout the.
country. Freezing- temperatures in other pai'ts of the state7
just missed most of Stark County. Seventeen days witE$^.".

city throughout West Virginia, Kentucky, Oklahom^ll^^,

Near Lancaster, Pennsylvania old man winter took a" curtain call in the farming rejdon*
when a freak storm dumped, tons
of hail stones, ranging in size from
that of peas to small cherries, in
several sections of the rural territory. While the parents were bemoaning the damage to the crops,
many of the children were repor- *
ted to have gotten out their sleds
and enjoyed a bit of sledding.
A light bat steady rain started
to fall on the 6th and continued
throughout the night bringing a
total of .42 of an inch of rain. It
brought further delays to the farmers whose fields were soaked and
made them wait until dried out before they could continue with their
The farmers began, to
fear a repetition of last year's
conditions when a wet spring taade
corn planting so late that much of
the crop didn't mature. Frost
warnings were issued by the weatherman on the 7th.
A five inch snowfall in southwestern Ne,w York State brought
out snowplows on the Sth.of May.
The highway department there
said they had never had to use the
plows so late in the spring for
many years.
High winds felled scores of
trees in Cleveland on the 9th. Tle-
phone and power lines were snapped in several towns along Lake
Erie. The v/inds preceding- a .cool
air mass, resulted in Lake Erie
rising almost three feet at Cleveland. The coast guard reported
this the first time in several years
that the water change had occured.
By the 11th of May the thermometer here in Stark County had
reached a high of 90 degrees for
the first time in 1948. A drizzle of
rain again kept the farmers from
the fields delaying the planting a
few more days.
During the first 17 days of May,
more rain fell in Stark County
than it usually does during the entire month of May. The fains were
so frequent that fields had no
chance to dry out.
Thursdav night the thermometer
in Stark County took a. sudden
plunge and frost "did come light"
damage to tender crops. The truck
g-ardeners reported the damage
slight. On Tuesday, May 24, the
mercury again dropped to a low. of
31, while the weathermen predicted
warm weather.
Oregon residents were hard put
trying to reach places of safety
when the -unusually heavy snows
in the mountains during- the past
winter started melting with the
warm spring sun, straining the
dams to the breaking point withj
the resulting loss of life in many
communities.
May was reported as being two
degrees below normal with an
average temperature of 57.5 during the 64-year mean average is
59.5 degrees.
Rainfall during the month was
3.97 compared with a mean of 3.67
inches. All of it fell in the first
half of the month, with no measurable rainfall from May 17 on. The
heaviest rain during May was 1.3
inches on May 4.
Highest temperature was 90 degrees May 11 and on May 22, the
thermometer dropped to 35. bringing frost in some areas.

On May IS. 1948, the United
States Patent Office granted patent number 2,441,fi84 on a "Rotary Card Index" to Karl H. Miller, North Canton, Ohio and
George C. Bruen, Chicago, Illinois.
As is generally known, a rotary
card index comprises a device
wherein filing cards are mowited
radially on a rotatable wheel or(. planting,
drum, thc attachment thereof being accomplished bv means of
kevholc-shaped slots in the bottom
edges of the cards that properly
engage a circular flanged rail extending around the center of the
circumferential surface of the
wheel. In its operation, thc cards,
at thc top of thc wheel, rest on tho
smooth surface of the latter, while
those on thc bottom hang from the
rail flange by their key-holeshap-
ed slots.
Two prior patents on rotary
card indexes were issued to Mr.
Bruen several years ago, but both
he and Mi*. Miller now state that
these earlier structures had certain
disadvantages. For example, com
parativclv wide cards, when used
therewith, would tend to twist or
angle out of proper position to
.'.rich an extent as to become disengaged from the rail. When a rail
cegment was removed for any purpose and thc wheel then rotated,
rome of the cards would fall off
the anparatus, thereby causing a
disturbance in their continuity. In
addition, considerable time rwas
consumed locating the initial cards
of thr. groups carried on the drum,
and difficulty was encountered in
effecting a satisfactory assembly
of the drum within a cabinet containing a rotating cover.
According to Messrs. Miller and
Brufm, their present invention
eliminates the above-mentioned
shortcomings, and' in general, "thev
accomplish this result by means of
special sccrments or cars proiec-
ting from the wheel surface of the
drum, bv the use of a pull ring
with a joint thereon of specially
colored materia! an oi slightly different shape than the remainder of
the ring, and bv mounting the cover of the cabinet and the drum on
sobstancialtv the same axis; the
arrancrements respectively eliminating the above-mentioned difficulties.
Thus, it is claimed that this invention provides a rotary card index, with a simplified bearing construction, on which cards of a
great .range of widths mav be
mounted, and which contains a signal means, both visible to the eye
and arresting to the touch, for indicating the primary or initial
group of cards on the wheel.
This patent has been assirncd to
Diebold, Incorporated. Canton,
Ohio.
